Other: Hi Virgil, I wanted to follow up with an email you forwarded to yourself today. The issue wasn't just a slight sprained ankle. Robin BROKE her ankle which required 2 weeks of a cast and 2-3 months of an air cast. We had to cancel a prepaid trip to CA because of this incident with a deer that would not have been the case if there were no aggressive deer in Bloomington. I know this might seem like a slight case to you, but it is huge for us. Once again, we have health insurance, but if we didn't...it would have been a huge Emergency Room expense, Orthopedic doctor expense x 3 and physical therapy. Missed time from work, etc. This isn't just a slight matter and I am sure if it had happened to someone else in the city it might have been looked at a little more seriously. The owners before us had been fighting the deer for years before they sold the house to us and now we are fighting the deer issue. Once again, will it take a death of a child (which I am sure will happen) before the city will do something about the urban deer problem? We have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying to have a decent garden and fighting these deer and every year their population keeps growing and doing more havoc to the city of Bloomington's resident's gardens as well as the danger they cause and nothing gets done about it.
Unable to assist with situation at this time.
My apologies. I was attempting to sum up our phone conversation. I did not come away from our conversation that her foot was broken. I am sorry that the incident with the deer caused such an injury. As we discussed on the phone, it is not currently anything that can be done by Animal Care and Control. I have notified my officers so they can be aware of the situation and be on the look out for any unusual activity in specific deer that we may need to deal with. As we discussed on the phone this is a difficult time to live with deer due to mothers protecting their fawns. If you see additional aggressive behavior please let us know. Thanks again for bringing this issue and area of the City to our attention.
